2009 World Series of Poker
Event 23 - $10,000 World Championship No Limit Deuce to Seven Draw
Day: 3
And Now for Some Multi-Way Action
The action was checked around after the draw. Wahlbeck showed a ten perfect (T-5-4-3-2), Schulman had paired his three, and both Sung and Musso showed worse ten-lows. Wahlbeck took it down.
Sung Raps His Queen to Victory
Both players checked after the draw. Sung's Q-9-8-6-5 was enough to take the pot.
The Schulman Squeeze
Vince Musso Doubles Through John Juanda
Musso showed 7-5-4-3 and Juanda 9-8-3-2. Musso drew an eight to make an 8-7 low and had the hand locked up before Juanda even looked at his new card, a seven. Musso reclaimed some of his chips from Juanda, taking his stack back up to 450,000.
Sung's Aggression is Greater than Wahlbeck's
Both players were pat on the draw. That led a very cautious Wahlbeck to check the action to Sung. Sung fired out 100,000, enough to take down the pot.
Still More Multi-Way Action
A Bit About Our Final Six
- NYC native Nick Schulman has over $3.5 million in tournament earnings and two WPT titles, but is going for his first WSOP bracelet this afternoon.
- John Juanda earned his fourth bracelet at last fall's WSOP-Europe Main Event after a 22-hour final table, the longest in WSOP history and will be attempting to add number five today.
- Steve Sung already picked up a bracelet this month, winning the $1,000 "Stimulus Special," beating out the largest non-Main Event field in WSOP history (6,012).
-Ville Wahlbeck was on the verge of quitting poker... that is until he won his first bracelet in last week's $10,000 Mixed Event.
- Then there is Archie Karas-- the man, the myth, the legend, who in 1992-1995 famously ran $50 into a $40 million bankroll before losing it all within three weeks. At the 2008 WSOP, Karas made the final table of the Razz event, finishing seventh, and has already cashed once this year, in the other NL 2-7 event, which was ultimately won by Phil Ivey.
Vince Musso Eliminated in 6th Place ($39,697)
For sixth place in this event, Musso takes home $39,697. We're not sure how that compares to the $15,000 he won in 1979 for this event, but it's still a good sum of money.
Schulman vs. Juanda
Juanda folded to Schulman's 60,000 bet and he took down the pot.
